Waiting room

[GizzardLizard]

I've been in production since 3/07 with nothing since then. Really weird since theres others who've had theirs built and shipped. If theres no updates tomorrow morning I might give my dealer a call and see if they can see what the status is.

Was 3/7 your build week?

2/28 was my build week. On 2/25 the text above the tracker said it went into production, and then the tracker itself changed to In Production on 3/07. Nothing since then.

The tracker has also been rarely working for me. Either refuses to load or it tries then just kicks me back to the home page. Occasionally it'll work though but mostly not, lately,

Oh yeah we had the same build week! I’d definitely call your dealer and see if you can find anything out.

update....still no email from Ford. I tried to look into to see if i can sign up for the Off-Roadeo in Moab but the system said they can't find my order last week. I called Ford, they confirmed I have an order but no other update.

I think I've read others have gotten a build date ordered after 1/15/22. Is it because I have the sunroof and 360 options?? ....I'll wait another couple of weeks to see what would happen. I've found out a Toyota dealer here will do MSRP. Maybe a 4Runner is an option. I heard they tell you 6 months wait but people gotten theirs in 2 months. then again...that maybe different when I order mine.

I ordred a badlands with no sunroof, 360, premium package, or anything else. I even dropped the tow package to hurry the build date along. I think the dealer submitted it on Feb 1st or 2nd, and I haven't heard anything about a build date yet.

Looks like we are on that same slow boat stuck in the Bermuda Triangle.

I have premium, sun roof, 360 , cargo Mgmnt, and tow package…..,we will see if those are the differences or it is just crapshoot.

by the time I get my BS, Elon Musk would have landed on Mars.

I hope this means that the Broncos have chips and will be built instead of sitting on the lot since they news articles only mention Explorers being built without chips. #fingerscrossed

Looks like I don't need to call my dealer to find out whats going on!

woo hoo!!

Has anyone been able to discern a difference of why some people get a build date just a couple of weeks after the order and others wait forever? Are dealerships doing it wrong? Does Ford have an arbitrary process? Are there factors we can control for to keep things level?

I think Badlands are more delayed than others and that may be why people like me, Outer Banks, are hearing sooner than Badlands buyers.

It seems the people that are waiting the longest are badland orders

Badlands, especially with Premium Package and/or Assist+ (extra chips). I ordered both and haven't been assigned a build date yet.

I just have the 360+ and the dealership said it wasn't one of the holdup parts. He said the tow package was definitely a constraint.
Looking at local inventory it seems like even the small dealerships have 3-4 units on the lot and more ordered/inbound. The larger dealership in my county has 7 units according to Ford's website. This is a rather dramatic increase in stock and shipments over the previous couple of months, and I hope it's a good sign for this particular production line. Or I'm just being overly optimistic.

That lines up with what someone at Ford had told me when I called about 3 weeks ago. They said the tow package was holding things up but I was not sure how reliable what she was saying because she kept saying Bronco instead of Bronco Sport.
